Squatter takes over abandoned RV... Until I take it away!

- This cleanup project didn't go quite as expected, and was a good reminder that we really have to watch our backs and take every precaution we can when doing stuff like this. Lessons were learned and my procedures have been changed.
The gentleman that was living in this RV is now in hospice care and voluntarily gave up his RV to be hauled off and scrapped before it got drug out into the woods and trashed like so many others. Unfortunately as you can see, someone else got to it before we did..
Be sure to check out our Patreon project where we use whatever it brings in in a month as our budget to help someone the following month!

I grew up dirt poor. My bedroom was the back porch, even in the dead of Midwest winters. To this day, I'll never understand how some poor people can just junk an area up. I guess even if they had money, they would still throw their garbage everywhere.
More often than not, messes like show here are the result of addiction.
depression hit people in different ways. Especially when its deep, bad and you grew up in those conditions. It becomes invisible, normal and nothing more than a minor inconvenience. Grew up dirt poor myself. My bed was in the pantry on the floor in a basement apartment of Chicago. I'm an expert at unaliving mice and rats.
@Nobody_important_at_all yeah, socialism is a bitch
Glad everything worked out for you. Thanks for the back story on the RV. Good to know that the city/county folks were there to get the gentleman into hospice so he didn't end up alone for the last part of his life.
@bobblemitch I was going to make a comment similar to yours. Though, I was fortunate to not have to live on a porch. I do work at a facility that used to be a tuberculosis treatment center and all of the older buildings, 1920's to 60's were mostly porches. The clients slept out in the elements. It was believed to be a beneficial part of curing the disease. Now the place is a drug and alcohol treatment facility. (White Deer Run, Allenwood, Pa) It is situated on the side of a small mountain and is a very beautiful place to work.
We were poor when I was a young child, but we always kept our residence clean, it does not matter how little money you may have, you can keep the area clean.
First of all, as explained, the owner of the RV was very ill. Try cleaning when you're dying. Second, how do you know the mess was hers? It was probably left by the sick owner. Did you see a dumpster anywhere so she could clean it up? Third, you don't even know how long she was there. Maybe she had just arrived and didn't have time to drag off the garbage. If you're going to assume things about people, I suggest assuming the best not the worst. It would be a nicer world.
I understand your point but you should watch some of the other content creators like Not the Worst Cleaner and those like her because she has a psychology degree and she goes into the homes of the disabled and elderly and cleans their homes for them for free because otherwise, these honest and decent, but completely overwhelmed people would be removed from their homes by the state because getting their heads around the task of cleaning their homes has them completely overwhelmed 🥺 and unfortunately their depression has made their situation feel completely hopeless to them.
Not the worst Cleaner*s explanation about these peoples situation is that the mess is caused by a Trauma Response. That's the how the human brain responds to situations that the person is not capable of properly processing at the time that the person experienced at the time of the incident. Were you se*ually assaulted as a small child? Did you have an parent who's punishment was far too harsh for the intended 'crime'?. I know someone who's dad whacked her across the back with a 2x4. She still has a 2x4 sized indentation into her vertebrae 50 years later. No crime of a 12 year old should be that harsh. Child murderers don't even get tested like that. Have you ever seen a dog that lives with being beaten or kicked so much that it never raises it's head? I have. I saw a horse 🐴 🐴 🐴 at a little carnival when I was a young teen that, no matter how I tried to gain it's trust, attention and love. he refused to make eye contact with me. I was so upset about it I wanted to take him home and love him and rebuild his self esteem. The man that ran the little children's horsie ride🐴 🐎 🐴🐎 🐴 looked like a horrible person, duty T shirt and all. A horse shouldn't be made to be like that. They are supposed to nicker and nuzzle you with their nose. I've been around horses and that horse's behavior was not natural.
So, I said all of that to say this. You don't know what people are going through and you may have had more nurturing parents or a mother that helped and encouraged you to learn how to clean. Everybody isn't born with that and it's rather petty for you to look down on people that don't have lives as together as you do. Everybody has faults. Maybe your faults just aren't as obvious as that specific person's are. Maybe it's time to develop some compassion lest you be judged with the same measurement that you use to judge others... Because nobody knows the things that you struggle with either. ❤ 🐴 ❤ 🐎 ❤ Everybody could use little extra dignity from time to time, whether you think they deserve it or not. 🌺 🌹 🌺 🌹 🌺
Yes 😊 Thanks for saying that. ❤
@@OrphanAnnie681Good points ❤ Thanks for saying that. 😊
But it was Gross inside... I couldn't sleep in there😢
You treated that woman with dignity and respect. You're solid gold for that sir.
I guess I’m confused. I didn’t see any kind of confrontation between this man and a female Squatter. What did I miss and where was it?
@@paulahunt3508 She can be heard/seen at 17:15 for about 8 seconds.
I didn't really need to watch a 34 minute video about hooking up and towing a trailer.
@80cardcolumn, so you checked out at 17:23?
@@80cardcolumnso you had 34 minutes to look at the channel and figure out this whole thing is about hooking up and towing things? But you didn't? You wasted 34 minutes of your life? You'll never get that back!! Neither will you ever get back the time it took to read this comment.
Dang, way to dog pile a comment. That’s a big old mess, there are so many people living out.
When I was homeless I used to sleep behind an optometrist office because they had a very bright light in the back next to the parking lot and a table and benches so I would sweep the whole area at night because there was a lot of pine trees so lots of needles and the couple times they caught me sleeping there they just woke me up politely and said hey were opening up our business time to go..... And I left and said sorry thank you, but I never left a mess and always left it cleaner
I used to stay behind the Subway in Grass Valley, they left the WiFi on and I could use it if I stayed behind the restaurant. But had to boogie early there bc they had cleaners come.
Aren't you embarrassed to publicly admit you were homeless????
@@aarongarcia1101 ah yes I used a few shopping centers that had a subway and Noah's Bagels I'd use the WiFi and hide powerbanks inside the trees that have lights around them because they always needed an outlet and they usually have multiple connections obviously I wouldn't unplug the tree...
@@cathynewyork7918 yes and no because I was basically given a week after my 18th birthday had family stuff come up and had a week to find a job or else I was out and no doubt about it, I was out and packed a bag and left I'll admire that I still have had a job but I honestly worked for anything I got from the age of probably 6 It started with me wanting to go to see monster trucks and my family was not well off by any means, so my father said you want to go see them pay for it yourself so I collected recycling for months almost anywhere I could and made a 100 bucks just for my Dad to basically guilt trip me into giving him the money for the movies and then on he said if you want deodorant or toothbrush or whatever toiletries get the money on your own for your own clothes and stuff and I did but like I said family stuff hit I was struggling for months with zero attention being paid and was dismissed for my weakness so things happen to people so without any help from anything or anyone life can be hard
@@cathynewyork7918why would they be ashamed of being homeless you must have been born with that silver spoon everyone will fall on tough times at a certain time in life karma my friend
Situations like this are a great reason to record yourself working, even if you're not a famous CZcamsr
Exactly what everything autos is doing and there are another CZcams channel who yes they are famous. They still use the walkaround for accountability.
Exactly. I learned that a long time ago after some false allegations.
Yup I see construction teams setting up cameras too it's a great idea to protect yourself
But he is a famous CZcamsr! =)
And if it was your daughter what would you say to us in comments?? There's no easy category to put people in you have no clue their background or reason.. but overall I agree to very strict enforcement . People that can't hit their absolute bottom can't change
Being homeless doesn't mandate that one must live like a pig amidst as much trash as possible. That's actually a choice that's reflective of someone's character, or lack there of.😎
Cum on maan🤷🏿♂️😩🙈
It demonstrates why they would be an undesirable roommate or neighbour.
Drugs
Depends on what shape the person is in also. I know i have a hard time keeping my place clean , i do have kids who help me out when they can , but I'm not in that kind of mess.
@@shazzorama or why they might be homeless
This is what u call having a working man's PHD. What patience! & attitude! Good job my dear. BLESS you!
Once the tow truck guy started talking to himself for a half hour, im not sure I'd come out either. 😂 Here in Oregon you dont mess with the ones who are narrating themselves.
Dang. That was a nice rv at one time.
This thing was top of the line in its day.
@@CaseyLaDelle
I'm in awe the slide still worked.
Both of the small RVs tbat Greg towed were cool. Old Toyota and a Ford. That stuff all rots/rusts away here.
Right!!
That was definitely a nice rig in its day!
I’m sure there are ones like it still on the road in great shape.
I'd deff stripped that thing down, He would needed to tow any thing. How that thing stayed in one piece shows how vapid society has become, totally throw away
I feel bad for that big dollar camper , not the deranged lunatics trashing everything .. and I'm not against people down on their luck at all , I just hate trash and waste .. but holy moly that camper was the machine in it's it day
Although you never hear about it, they are a nightmare to drive, especially in a storm. And the 5 miles a gallon is a bit rich. Quite a few retired people buy them and take one trip and park it in the driveway forever.
@@thomcarr7021 all truth ! .but such a shame to see the demise of such a craft ..at least the f'n bank got paid though
That RV back in the late 90's cost almost, if not more, then $250,000. They were gorgeous vehicles.
If you can buy something like this, then you should be able to fuel it. Besides, the fuel was under half what we pay today.
The thing is most of them are down on their luck for a reason both psychological and economic and most are not helped by a government that spends like crazy and causes inflation that hurts everyone except the rich!
I have battled homelessness several different times in life due to health. Employers simply don't keep those that constantly need random unexpected multiple sick days regardless of how skilled or devoted you are. Anyways, my point is that in all those times no matter where I went I found that certain people simply don't give two bits about anything after a certain point of running around living as if life is lawless.
This is going to sound totally cruel, hate me for saying it if you want, but put em on a rickety stool with a rope and give them only one of two options, the rope or get it together properly. Live outside all you want, but you will live civilized and earn your way.
Even ill and in unexplainable pain I got my butt up every single morning before daybreak, packed up, gathered any and all trash for the bin on my way out of where I camped for the night (always carried an extra bag for trash), and off to wherever any sort of work that could be found that day. Tried not to sleep in the same place twice over if it could be avoided.
Even at the soup kitchens many of these people are outright disrespectful to their surroundings and those that try to help them.
Most, if not all, working on trying to get what they've nicknamed the "nut check" which is disability and every last one purposely functioning at a level to maintain government aid AND claim they're unable to maintain a dependable source of income for themselves.
Look I'm not saying I don't understand certain circumstances, I'm just saying the vast majority are milking the system because they simply don't want to do what it takes to fend for themselves and they just want to remain acting like children with allowances expecting others to clean up after them 🤷♂️.
They physically bust their butts all over town for things they want or need for silly reasons, but refuse to get out and join the workforce.
I have no sympathy for that.
I really like to have seen a walkthrough of the RV. I bet that RV new was worth a lot of money. I feel sorry for the owner who is in hospice. Hope his end comes peacefully.
I’m a fellow tow company owner in the central Valley here in California. I know exactly how you feel when it comes to these motorhomes. We get a lot of motorhomes through the sheriffs department. It’s very rare that CHP will call us out for one. Unless the county pays for the disposal. It is extremely hard for any of these tow companies in our area to want to take them for obvious reasons. There is no money to be made. In fact, it actually cost to get rid of them.
The whole video was great to watch. I just have a couple small constructive criticisms. Please don’t take the criticisms personally.
The one thing that I noticed was when you put the pins back into your risers. I always tell my drivers to put the pins in the other way. The reason for that is when you put your boom away and you keep the risers on. You’re not relying on the Safety pins to hold the main pins in place. If the safety pins were to fall out, then the main pin would simply drop out. Then, of course the riser would come flying off, possibly causing damage, injury, and or death. Not to mention you lose a riser.
The other concern I had was when you improvised using that sharp rock on a very old tire. I was extremely nervous when you crawled underneath there. Now I did notice you made it a point to not stay under it for very long however, it just takes a split second for that tire to have blown out and you getting seriously injured.
I’ve been in your situation where I have forgotten wood. So what done was use a another set of risers to act as a block. That way you have a nice smooth surface.
As fellow tow operators. We are a big family that watch out for each other. Again, it was just something that I had noticed. And I was simply worried about you.
One other thing I would like to bring up. Although you had mentioned you had knocked on all the walls prior to you hooking up the RV. I personally would have done that very thing and before going any further do a walk-through first. Because had that person been , jumping around especially the way you had the front tires preloaded. That could’ve been very bad. Not to mention if they had been “ hurt” that could have set you up for an injury lawsuit.
Also, I have ran into an RV about 10 years ago. Just as I was doing a walk-through, I found a deceased person laying in the master bedroom. All the more reason to do a complete walk-through.
One more thing. You can also get yourself in a situation that if you towed the RV with somebody in it. That could be considered kidnapping here in the state of California. Just FYI my friend. I’ve seen it happen.
I’m sorry this message was long. I just want to share my experiences. We are one big family and we need to watch out for each other. Just my thoughts. Ron
Man that was once a nice motorhome. Expensive in its day.
All motorhomes are nice when they’re brand new. The problem is, they depreciate quickly. And regardless of how nice they start out, they all fall apart unless they are well maintained…and they are expensive to maintain properly.
@@scottmichaels6854everything turns to sh.t if it isn't maintained and looked after
But they would not have abandoned it if it was in great shape.
@@geekfreak618it was but wasn't abandoned. The feller was in poor physical health while living in it right in that spot. He was placed into Hospice which is end of life care, as I understood Casey's meaning....... the feller couldn't exactly drive it to his care center. The ambulance hauls people not people and their motorhomes.😂
Still worth a lot of money in its current condition.
Even if you are poor and homeless, there is no excuse for making such a disgusting mess.
WHO made the mess? Was it the dying man or the lady who came along later? It's sad your focus is the mess and not the fact a homeless woman is driven out from under a safe roof - to go where?
Drugs are a helluva drug. Remember this.
Being homeless is expensive. There’s a tax on every move you make. If you had to choose between a haircut and doing laundry vs trash bags, cleaning products, and the cost/logistics of transporting full trash bags to a disposal location which would you choose? The mental storm that rains on the decision making process of homeless people makes it hard to see the next step through the haze.
@OrphanAnnie681 yes she was forced to leave but in all fairness, it was not hers to take possession of. She was squatting illegally. Laws still apply no matter if you're homeless or not. If she wants to change her situation there are resources available to help. You gotta want it.
@@JenniferFuchek if there are so many resources available, then why are there still so many homeless people? Yes, I know a rare few actually choose it. But, the majority do not. They just try to find any safe environment where they won't be murdered in their sleep. And the resources you mention typically consist of food, clothing and hygiene products. That's it! As for laws, well sometimes laws are no always just. Remember, slavery was once legal in this country. There's no way I would ever stand by a law like that. Maybe if we start valuing people over property things would get better? Abe Lincoln did, and things got better.
Hey brother I'm 63 years old and I got out of the towing business about 10 years ago I must tip my hat to you you know all the tricks of the trades getting that motorhome was a mother LOL God bless you and safe Towing
That woman wasn't just homeless and needed a place to sleep, she was just there for when she did her drug's. I enjoy your channel, it really shows us what it takes to clean up our streets when needed. See you on the next video, take care and be careful. 👍
Yeah I'm sure you're a deacon at the local church
How do you know the woman did drugs? Did you follow her around day and night and sleep in the RV with her and help light her shit? Judge yourself first.
@@johngraymusicyou've never done meth have you?
She was tweaking hard fyi
You really don't need to follow people around to understand the telltale signs of meth use
That was a beautiful in its day. Sad to see the demise.
I can't leave a comment for some reason, i wish i could
Totally amazed how you are doing all this work and she never came out until you went to pry the door open
the sad funny thing is he has a great point about being watched the whole time....but in reality the person in there could have just as easily been so wasted out they did not wake up or come to until he was messing with the door......everything else prior to that could have just been tuned out "ambient noise" to them
@@rodrod383 Meth and Fentanyl it's taken over the state. You can tell when a new batch comes in due to the overdose rates.
She was afraid.
It looked/sounded like an older lady, she didnt sound wasted either. Probably scared of being arrested.
As the previous two people said she was probably scared and didn't know what to do. That's when people are the most dangerous like a cornered animal. I'm guessing she was being quiet because she just didn't want to get in trouble for breaking in. She obviously knew it was being towed because she didn't seem confused.
Thank goodness you didn't find a violent person in there. Thanks for helping to clean up our streets.
Who knew, well not me, that it took so much HARD WORK, and GENIUS CELLS, to simply Tow a Big vehicle. My HAT is off to You Sir!! Wow!!
Not to be critical--just from military experience, what we called PMCS'ing our vehicle every day (quick walk thru of necessary supplies, tools, fluid levels, etc.) has saved me hundreds of times. It's still a habit that follows me late in life and lets me catch problems early. Once it's engrained in you, it's a nice habit that rewards you time and again. ;-) Love your channel--be safe out there!
@kc3318 - As a fellow veteran, thank you for your service in the US Army. If I may expound a bit: As used in the US Army, PMCS is the acronym for "Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services". The US Air Force calls it PMI (Preventive Maintenance Inspections) and we in the US Navy in Vietnam had the MPC (Maintenance Policy Checklist) to keep our patrol boats SA (Squared Away) at all times.

Well done Casey. You behaved admirably, and professionally. And you were lucky that she was so cooperative.
How sad...that was once a beautiful RV. So sorry for the situation of the owner. You and your friends are amazing. Not easy work. My first time to watch your channel...glad I discovered it.
While the woman in the RV was treated with dignity and allowed to exit, were city/county officials notified in efforts to assist her with placement in a shelter?
“Allowed to exit”?
Alright this is ridiculous. The amount of work and know how to get this job done. Very impressive work and I hope you stay safe. ❤
Squatters don't need to be excused. They don't care. They trash everything they live in and I have no sympathy. I've been inside mobile homes dirtier and more disgusting than that one (used to work at a mobile home park). There's no excuse for that kind of mess. (Btw... I'm NOT talking about the gentleman that owned that RV... just the squatter)
On another note, you did a damn fine job Casey. Looking forward to the next video.
Err on the side of treating everyone as an individual, and you won’t fail yourself. I take Casey for that type of dude.
What a sad indictment of society, when you generalise everything, have no compassion and empathy for those less fortunate than yourself. If America had such things as universal free healthcare, and a decent mental health program there would be less poverty and fewer homeless and therefore squatters. I have sympathy for you @kukokanuko even if you have no sympathy for others - If you fall on hard times I hope that the world treats you better than you seemingly would treat others.
@@chrisknight6884 I don't need you empathy. I've been kicked out on the street and lived out of motels. Don't come at me thinking I'm just emotionless prick. I'm not heartless... I'm just fucking tired of these squatters and homeless who DON'T want help and trash everything. THOSE are the people I have no sympathy for. Acting so damn righteous... seriously?
@@chrisknight6884 She was not there because of the lack of universal free healthcare, nor was she there because she "fell on hard times". There are countless social programs to help people in both those circumstances. She was there because she chose drugs over _everything_ else in her life -- including her life. She didn't want to quit drugs, and because of that she couldn't enter treatment programs, and couldn't take advantage of the social programs to aid her. There's compassion in this world, but it isn't compassionate to support someone making these choices, it is harmful.

For some reason I was thinking of how thrilled the first owner of that RV would have been the day they dove it off the lot and brought it home . Wonder what it would have cost new ?
Modern ones like that are 6 figures.

I believe that she was hoping that he wouldn’t be able to get it hooked up, then she didn’t have to leave.
It’s crazy that they are homeless, but have this to live in and yet it’s disgusting and they fill it with garbage. If this was all I had to live in it would at least be as neat and clean as possible.
the people make the place, the place doesn't make the people.
They don't usually provide trash service to RVs parked on public streets so the only thing they can do is throw trash out in the woods or keep it in the RV. Maybe if the city put dumpsters out there people could properly throw out trash, but then that would encourage more homeless to gather there.
@@DS-lt7fw, why should society furnish anything for these people ? If you make bad choices in life you have to live with the results !
@@mrc1539 The point is....how can you fault people who can't afford anything for living in filth if trash pickup costs money. This doesn't seem hard to understand. And you should really look into homelessness and causes - it's not all about 'bad choices'. Punishing people by 'living with the results' is inhumane. Please look into the causes of homelessness. It isn't about being lazy moochers.....its much sadder than that and we as a society shouldn't let things like debt, medical debt, mental illness, etc. force people into these conditions. And don't even go into the whole 'pull yourself up by your bootstraps' crap.....
@@ian3580 there were dumpsters across the street. There are always better options than living in garbage and a mess. They were obviously able to get trash bags. They could easily throw them away at what ever store they get food, a convenience store or fast food place. That doesn’t explain why the inside has junk strewn about that they have to step over. That could be put to the side or better yet outside.
That feeling when you go for a tool out of your truck and it's not there....Know it well. Adapt and Overcome when the palpitations cease. Well done Casey another job done.
What a beautiful RV going for a scrape. It should be rebuilt.
The squatters left the interior looking fantastic !
That squatter lady got out of there pretty quickly. Then you read about squatters who take over peoples property and the homeowner has to go through a long legal battle to "evict" them. Crazy times we live in.

I subscribed to your channel for the off-road recoveries you seemed to be doing at the time but I gotta say, the heavy wrecker work is considerably more interesting. I really appreciate your wide ranging knowledge of so many of the vehicles you tow or recover and the varied circumstances you have to work with. Many thanks for the experience you’ve earned and are happy to share. Bloody legend 🇦🇺
Scarcity mindset prevents *some people* (not all poor people) from recognising trash as trash.
I helped at a self-help homeless place and one guy ate 5-6 day old food daily (that hadn't been refrigerated) in preference to the fresh food, as it still looked like edible food to him. He wouldn't let me dispose of it, even though we had top restaurants dropping off their leftover fresh food each night.
I worked ER. Had homeless people who were discharged but refused help from Social Services. They could not, would not follow rules...like no drugs, alcohol in shelters. Their minds were made up.
At this day & age ,no one can really live in a RV anymore unless you rent space at a trailer or RV park in the US ,
an in other countries people are harassed by the city council members & government even if you own the property!
Awesome vid!...😎💯👍
I was so surprised to see her come out of there and wondered if someone else could be in there as well. That could have ended so much differently, thank GOD for safety. There is so much more to towing than the average person even considers. One has to realize that some that are homeless have mental health problems, this is part of the reason encampments are trashed. Others is just laziness and bad attitude. Thank you for working so hard cleaning up the messes. Stay safe and GOD bless
those toyota rv's are actually highly sought after mainly for the engine and drive train and from what i briefly saw did not look in too bad of shape
The engine and trans are no different than any other Toyota pickup truck. 20R/22R. They are sought after because of their size, and fuel economy. They are perfect little 1 or 2 person rigs, that fit in many places others dont. He was hauling off $5000-$8000 even if it didnt run. Hood luck finding a decent one in working order for under $10k.
Great job on the tow! Watching this brings me back to my blue-collar roots; pride and respect for your equipment, not being afraid to get a bit dirty, and showing pride in doing a good job (safely). Thanks for the video
Thanks for not being a potty mouth. My children love to watch you. So you have a new vier
Life's tough sometimes. You handled the matter very kindly Casey, kudos to you.
I feel like Casey went home and reloaded his whole truck with everything he thought he had for the job...
Correct
@@CaseyLaDelle Casey, have you ever thought of putting an RFID tag on everything you need so a display will automatically show if something is missing?
@@demounit2505That sounds like a really expensive alternative to just making a checklist.
A took a long hot shower.
Sad looks like a really nice RV at one time
You guys who do this for a living I have a Lotta respect for you in the dead of winter. I see you crawling around on the trucks even with my truck breaks down and you have to crawl around on the sleet and snow him crying. It’s a living, but are you out here they get major bucks in Illinois, so I guess it’s worth it but much respect.
That RV still has to be worth something, probably needs about 10k in repairs, but in my opinion, she’ll be really nice when all done.
Entering the RV is a job for law enforcement, let the cops do the search.
Signed: an old beat up cop.
I'd have thought so too, as they could be armed or otherwise dangerous.
Casey didn't discuss that, but I'd be willing to bet that might become SOP from now on.
I'm guessing that (while it may be worth it at times) there's probably a lot of paperwork to make that happen. The cops are going to need to see title, reasons, see signatures, maybe more, before they are going to pry a door open and clear it.
@@ian3580
I don't know Oregon law, in some states the vehicle has been tagged for removal after that time has passed on a hook. Now on that one it has been cleared for removal with owner, noted at end of video.
It is possible that someone has watched this vehicle long enough to know who lives there. I assume two people were in this removal as someone was manning the camera. There may have been more that we did not see.
I'm surprised you didn't have a cop right there, to help evict the squatters.
Sad to hear about this situation. Was wondering how such a nice RV was left there. That generator alone was worth quite a bit.
Sad to see after traveling the US for years the gentleman in the end was alone in the RV before going to his last stop in life. 😢
That was a nice RV at one time...but love what you're doing to help clean up the eye sores!!
All RVs are nice when they’re brand new but people buy them and don’t realize how expensive it is to maintain them and keep them running.
Godspeed to the gentleman owner of the RV. Sad to see it was trashed inside. Had a Cat with an Allison tranny in my RV - loved it.
Great example of how many people treat things they don't own or otherwise invested in or earned.
Only you can protect you please take care young man.
The entitlement of squatting in general if it’s not your property just because it’s un occupied doesn’t mean you can use it freely like it’s yours also something needs to be done in America about conversion you can just freely convert pubic property into your personal space permanently or your trash dump
A lot of times the law affords more rights to squatters than to the property owner.
@@t.l.robinson2162 No, it never does. The law is the law, it just takes more time than the media has to wait for a proper resolution. But they do love the propaganda value of squatters!
@@ckm-mkc There should be no need to wait for a resolution. There is no debate about what the outcome should be. They are breaking and entering, they just never left.
@@ckm-mkcyes squatters rights, and that is wrong! It’s been shown many times, if someone takes up residence at a vacant house, and gets the power turned on, you can’t just kick them out! Even though they had no permission to live there! You still have to go through the courts to get them out, and this process can take a year or more! This is not fair to the actual owner of the property! If someone is living in your home, with out permission, you should be able to make them leave immediately! And if they refuse, then your local police department or sheriffs department should come and remove them for you!
Ask me how I know!
@@ckm-mkc when someone breaks into your property and the police refuse to remove them then tell you that you will be arrested if you enter your own property then yes the squatters have more rights than the property owner.
in another life i used to work for the chicago housing authority, subsidised housing. rules were you cracked the door first, sniffed, if it smelled bad, we locked it back up and dialed 911.
Like meth or death?
The camper looks like it was a very nice one at one time.
Just watching you crawl under that RV gave me goosebumps. My cousin's husband owned a large towing company in State College PA and one night on a call to tow in a semi - another semi came up behind the first vehicle and killed her husband they found him under the first vehicle. Please be extra careful
Cracked me up right around 6 mins. And, you not knowing that person was in there. You said "boy do i have a strange job". I just laughed and laughed at that. You were about to really find out . Lol. It was like you knew this job was really off. Before it really did get stranger. Please be careful. But, grest job
GOOD JOB! GOOD YOU HAD CAMERA
This man is very knowledgeable! Respect for a tough job well done!
I enjoyed this video so much because you made it entertaining and informative. I loved your chatter and personality. It was fun to watch.
What a shame that was a really nice big rv shame it got trashed😢
Litsis has been out to my place in Post a couple times to break into my sons Jeep. My stupid kid locks his only key inside it then has to call his insurance company for help. Great employee’s! They get right in and are nice,neat and well mannered. Not all tatted up and rude like most todays younger employees.
To save yourself from that call in the future, go to a key cutting place and get another key for it (try it right away when you get it) then get a magnetic key holder and hide it underneath the vehicle somewhere.
@@senditkevin Kid's old enough to drive = kid's old enough to figure out his own key issues.
@@senditkevin I keep my spare vehicle keys in my wallet. Even work vehicles I did that with.
Nice back.ho recovery! That R V removal was a disgusting situation! With the poor condition & mounds of garbage & trash on the ground, plus squatters living in filth, why didn’t local authorities clean that mess months ago? Tire imprint in pavement showing its bee abandoned for months! Previous owners should have bee accountable for that wreck! Run Vin -# to get information on former owner! Also noticed never any traffic on roadway was this a private park or industrial entrance! Nevertheless, this disgraceful, and disgusting situation never should happen again!
Adding to the first reply about getting a spare key, you don't have to buy the $300 spare from the dealer. The hardware store can cut a key that will unlock the door. It won't start newer cars, but all you need is to get the door open.
I like guys working with trucks, tools, & hands. Nice work!
Great Video Casey, It's Really Sad When Someone Gets Sick And At Least Had This RV And Then People Come In And Destroy It, I Was Wowed When You Lifted Up The RV And Thought Surely She Would Come Out, Then I Laughed When She Figured Out You Were Going To Open That Door! Great Job Hauling This Away!
Casey, a bloody good video Mate... You never cease to amaze me. A large Sledge hammer and a "Mini Me"....
That and the situations you get into. Stay safe and Cheers, Mate.
I'm reading the comments and am pleasantly suprised ! It's not full of people telling you how horrible you are for kicking that women out of the RV .
Are people finally coming to there senses ?
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Your channel is so interesting, something new every day! Keep up the great work!😎
It's a shame this camper was beautiful when it was sold. And was worth alot of money and look at it now 😢😢😢😢😢
Stunning and Sketchy for you Casey! I was Always armed on pick ups and recoveries in Alaska for 2 & 4 legged predators and CS Gas & Pepper Spray Deployment works wonders when getting prepped for transport, especially if going to junkyard! No worries about stains or odors and always clears out the Vermin!
There was a video and someone was carrying, someone in comments mentioned it. And casey said he wasn't the only one.
It's a shame people have to live like that. Bless their hearts.
They don't have to live like that.they could go get a job.
These guys deserve a medal
Thank you Casey. I wish I could get my hands on a generator LIKE in the front of the RV.
Tons of good parts on that RV !
Can you buy the parts you want from the junk yard or is it all just crushed for scrap?
To think that one day that was somebody's pride and joy is sad. The excitement they felt buying it and the good times had in it...
Thank you for cleaning up our town ❤
Some thing your liberal polyticians don't care about.
Great job! Thanks for the video.
9:45 "What do we want to do, other than go home?" LOL! I can relate…
Once again, I'm amazed at Casey's depth of knowledge (Disconnecting drive shafts) . I'm sipping coffee and laughing as he is hitting it with a hammer (how does he know this is what he needs to be done) and nothing much happens......sledge hammer suddenly comes into play and I nearly spit my coffee across my computer screen. Problem solved! Great video Casey!!!
used to run medium and heavy wrecker in Pope Valley CA.
I had to tow many junk RV's out of Lake County CA. I would hook and book as fast as I could. I had good luck and never ran into an occupied rv.
My boss and I recovered a MACK transfer truck and trailer from a geothermal power facility in 2016, Fast forward a few years and I took a job with the owners of the Transfer.
I was too spoiled by my previous 379 and decided that Mack Trucks are not for me. Not trucking anymore. I do keep my CDL because drivers are always needed
I gave mine up in....1982 (yeah, I'm that old). It's never been an easy way to make a living, but during that recession that affected even California - for a long time, thought to be recession proof - so I got with a friend of mine from the service, moved from Oklahoma to Los Angeles, and started painting houses and apartments.
Oh, and driving trucks was what I did in the Army as well. Deuce and a half, 5- and 7-ton, gamma goats, you name it, I had a license for it. MOS 11E.
I've been out to Pope Valley a few times, years ago, going out to Pine Flat. Beautiful out there. That General store and the Hubcap ranch still going?
So many people mention how bad the trash is and they don't know why some people do that. Let me help you people with that. It's called depression. When you have nothing in this world you try to have something. You think you have an idea of what to do with some stuff to make something but find out that you bring it home and end up doing nothing with it. Depression is a hard thing and trust me if you were homeless living like that you would want to drink too. Which adds to the depression. These people truly need help.
@@jt3008you probably do too
@@CyndiConnard lmao find a bridge woman
@CyndiConnard love how this app won't let me respond 😑 I miss butchering people in the comments, apparently your kind is protected now.
That was so much work!! You have Great skills and knowledge.
i will bet there are solar panels on the roof charging the batteries that is why the sun shade and the pop out worked.
You were lucky that wasn't a person that was a bit dangerous to be around as there is so many people on the streets now that are. Good banter between two towing companies!
Great clean up. Thanks for giving the full story!
I love watching you guys work.
Take care of your health Casey. Thanks again.
Damn brother, that’s dangerous… looks like that woman just continued to do her thing inside… I’m glad CZcams doesn’t have smella-vision 😷🤢…. Also the side of the road was just destroyed with litter and stuff then fast forward before they towed it away it was literally spotless 😂… I don’t envy the person who cleaned that
Nope, the spot we pulled it from was still trashed. I pulled it down the road a couple hundred yards before that last section was filmed
@@CaseyLaDelle hahahaha classic! Okay. I was trying to figure that out 🤣👊🏾🤘🏾
I was kinda disappointed that spot wasn't actually cleaned.
@@WarGod777 that’s the city’s responsibility
I am fascinated by your work and all you need to know. I would like to think my son with a felony, non violent, could learn to do this for a job. I am so glad you are thinking if your safety. Paramount. Would like to show my grandson who's father was a long haul trucker. Be proud if your work. May our country keep working on solutions to help the homeless and substance abuse disorder. Mental illness is not a crime. Blessings to all. Namaste.
Now I know how you do this. Pretty cool. Looks like a super nice rv at one time. Amazed it has power to close the extension and put the awning down.
You sounded a bit cross when you first heard her, but I figure that was from being shocked someone was in there. After that, you didnt talk bad to her and even made sure she was all done. 👍
I also noticed that rock had a nice patina of moss on it. That was probably a $50 rock you used under the tire.
As if she deserves any kind of courtesy with the state she left it.
Truly a reflection of the respect she deserves.
I'm surprised (but not) the police are not there at least at the beginning to ensure the "home" is empty before you do your job....scary as you never know what is going on in someone's mind and what they have. At least you have a lessons learned.
Thank you for sharing. I always wondered how they ended up like that.
Thank you for cleaning up this mess.
Often time squatters like that are addicts and if you’re banging on the windows and doors, they are going to be as quiet as a mouse, especially if they are actually in the process of doing whatever they’re addicted to. Luckily, they voluntarily came out and you avoided any issue
Prolly passed out
